SEED SEED
That's why you should buy seeds here, as you
can always be sure that you get fresh seeds and
of known variety. All our seeds were grown
last year, from seeds whose variety had been
proved, and under the most favorab!e condi
tions for each kind. They have the precise at
tention to details in gathering, etc., which only
the practical seed grower knows how to give.
All this should make them worth more to you
than seeds picked up here, there and every
where, but we sell them as low as you pay for
the inferior kinds.

Library ieopenued.
According to announcement
the Winnsboro public library
I was again reopened Wednesday
after having been shut up for
about two months. The new
rooms in the town hall had been
gotten in good shape and the
books had all been put in place,
ready for the opening. For the
present size of the library these
- rooms are quite sufficient and'
certainly make very attractive
3 quarters. The library in it's new
' home has more the appearance of
permanency than ever before,
and now that its nead has been so
much emphasized by having it
closed for a while, its real place,
in the community is more largely)
felt. Already it is being well,
used. It is very important, how
ever, that all old members renew
their memberships at once, so
that the magazines for the year
may be ordered right away.
-There ought to be at least one
hundred members of the Asso
ciation. and all should join now as'
a the membeiship fee of $1.00 only
i pays for this calhnier year.
In connection with the reopen- )
ing of the library the thanks of
the Association are due to Mayori
Ketchin for his great interest in,
tnis matter. Not only did Le
tender the rooms in the town hall
free of rent, but he voluntarily
had the walls of the hall outside
repaired. He will also haue the
whole approach to the hall paint
ed and put in good shape. With
these changes in the town hall it
will be quite a different looking
place to what it has been hereto
fore. It will be quite a step in,
civic improvement to have thiQ
headquarters of the municipal,
government kept in a more at- I
tractive manner, and this is some
thing that can now be surely
counted on.
For Over Sixty Years.
MRS. WINStoW'S SooTsNc SYRUP I
h'as been used for over 60 years by mil
lions of mothers for their children
while teething, with perfect suecess.
It soothes the child, softens the gums, r
allays all pain; cures wind colic, and
is the best remedy for Diarrhcea. It
will relieve the poor little sufferer im -
mediately. Sold by druggists in every I
part of the world. Twenty-five cents t
a bottle. Be sure and ask for "Mrs
Winslow's Soothing Syrup," and take
no other kind.
Not Dead.
The note given us a few days i
ago by our White Oak corres
pondent in regard to the death of 1
Mr. R. M. Fife of Reddick, Fla.,
was an error, as Mr. Fife is not
dead. For several weeks he has1
been very low and he was report
ed to be dead. He is now conva
lescing gradually.
Mr. Jennings Home. j
The many friends of State
Treasurer Jennings were very
glad indeed to see him in town
Friday. He was returning from
Baltimore, where he recently
underwent a very seniuus opera
tion, and stopded over for a day
here with his son, Mr. J. M.Jenn
ings. He is greatly improved in
health and hopes soon to be fully
receovered. This is most grat
ifying to his friends here in
Fairfield, who have watched with
interest the outcome of his long
sickness. He was accompanied
on this trip by his son, M. B.1
Jenniogs, Esq; of the Yorkville~
bar.
Not Quit Yet.
The fact that our book and
stationery department was dis
continued at the beginning of the
year has given some the impress
ion that we are np longer in the
job printing business. In this
connection we want to say
that we not only have noti
